I think a DJVU filter for tracker would be an important addition. The DJVU format is becoming popular amongst people doing DIY book scanning, thanks to these excellent tools:
1) Scan Tailor, for image post-processing http://scantailor.sourceforge.net/ 2) djvubind, a script for Linux that creates a DJVU file with searchable, positioned OCR text from Scan Tailor's output http://code.google.com/p/djvubind/ deb here: http://code.google.com/p/djvubind/downloads/list It seems that eventually the goal is to incorporate the functions of djvubind into the Scan Tailor GUI. The tools can be used on any images of pages, whether generated by a flatbed scanner (which I use) or one of the homebrew camera-based scanners developed here: http://www.diybookscanner.org/ All of that is to say that I think DJVU may become somewhat less obscure - the Internet Archive uses the format, too. The following thread from the Tracker mailing list states that what is needed is an extractor module for Tracker (as opposed to a filter - filters are no longer used in tracker >= 0.7.x): http://mail.gnome.org/archives/tracker-list/2010-August/msg00022.html Here's the howto for writing an extractor module: http://library.gnome.org/devel/libtracker-extract/unstable/libtracker-extract-How-to-use-libtracker-extract.html I think the command needed for the extractor module is djvutxt, which is part of the djvulibre-bin package. This is as far as I've gotten with things so far. Maybe I will be able to figure out how to make an extractor module for text and metadata or maybe this information can help someone else with more skills. -- Tracker ignores contents of djvu files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/428599 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
